fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on  earth  (the planet  where i  live) a 
 lot of  us have  antennas on our  houses 
 or  balconies,   we  have   built  large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith,  we have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit), we've built large  as  fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually  built an antenna with a 
          dish as large as earth.         
                                          
 we've learned  about our position in the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement   in   the  galaxy,  and   our 
 galaxys placement in  the local cluster, 
 and  our  local clusters place in  the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and  the suns moving around the 
 center  of the  galaxy at  velocity  and 
 the  galaxy  is moving  toward andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the galaxy. and we  as a  species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite  all  this, despite all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio programmes  out  in fucking  space 
 at the  speed  of  light  (light  is our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of  all  our secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one      has        answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most  opponents  to intelligent life  in 
 the  universe say  it's because you need 
 a  class one-or-the-other  star  and the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from the star (like  there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really  isn't  that   keeping   the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i  think everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea what we're doing  (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna  go  smoke my third cigarette 
 this  year and  try to snatch some beers 
         from the local beer thing
